To: Whom it may concern Help!!
I have medical problem in my left & right leg and with extremity swelling above and below of the knees. I have been diagnosis with peripheral vascular disease, left & right lower extremities. I also had MRI-Angiography of both lower extremities pathologies with similar symptoms. Conclusion: Grade II chondromalacia of the left & right knees, with hyper signal and fibrillation in the surface of the cartilage.
I was in the U.S. Air Force for 28 years and I was an Aircraft Mechanic and work on the flight line and hangers repairing B-17’s, P-51D, F-80’s, T-33’s , F-86’s, F-102’s and F-106’s , F-4E’s, F-16’s aircraft etc. During the Korean War, Vietnam War, Global Cold War and simulated war exercises for training.
Now, what I like to know is; how does one develop or acquire this problem that I have?
Was it because; I was working, standing, walking and runing on concrete cement ramp (flight line) were the Aircraft are parked or undergoing repair or inspection, during my 28 years in the Air Force?
Sincerely,
Vincent J. Bianco, SMSGT, Retired U.S. Air Force
